The Original Shin Megami Tensei Coming to iOS

The original demon-collecting role-playing game is back and being ported over to the the App Store.

The first entry of the Shin Megami Tensei series is going to be making its debut on the iOS format later this year. Shin Megami Tensei was the inspiration behind Atlus' Persona and Devil Summoner series. The first SMT deals with a mysterious murder opening a gate to hell which unleashes demons onto the world. The protagonist of SMT uses a computer program to talk to and recruit rogue demons to fight off the demon hordes. As you recruit more and more demons, you can fuse them together to create the perfect RPG team you would like to use to try and save the world.

Shin Megami Tensei offers 40-60 hours of dungeon-crawling, RPG combat. This will mark the first time the original title will be officially sold in North America and will be available on March 18 on the App Store for the price of $7.99.
